Lemosho Route

The Lemosho Route starts quieter than the more travelled Machame and Marangu routes. This quietness enhances the trekking experience, allowing climbers to feel as though they have Mount Kilimanjaro to themselves during the initial days.

The route eventually joins up with the Machame route, yet the early stages remain peaceful and provide unique, breathtaking views not available on other routes. This makes Lemosho, the Best Kilimanjaro Route for trekking up the mountains.
